let’s take one of our toothpicks and
let’s take one of our toothpicks and stick it onto the end of our tape we
stick it onto the end of our tape we
stick it onto the end of our tape we want the tape to be much closer to one
want the tape to be much closer to one
want the tape to be much closer to one end than the other leaving everything
end than the other leaving everything
end than the other leaving everything from about the middle of the toothpick
from about the middle of the toothpick
from about the middle of the toothpick down untaped with the toothpick stuck to
down untaped with the toothpick stuck to
down untaped with the toothpick stuck to the tape roll at once so the tape is
the tape roll at once so the tape is

toothpicks bundle them right next to
toothpicks bundle them right next to that first toothpick and then wrap the
that first toothpick and then wrap the
that first toothpick and then wrap the tape around all four together we want to
tape around all four together we want to
tape around all four together we want to make sure we pull the tape really nice

make sure we pull the tape really nice and tight around these toothpicks that
and tight around these toothpicks that
and tight around these toothpicks that will help them stay together a lot
will help them stay together a lot
will help them stay together a lot better let’s just set down our tape two
better let’s just set down our tape two
better let’s just set down our tape two toothpicks for a second and get some of
toothpicks for a second and get some of
toothpicks for a second and get some of our string what I’m using is just some
our string what I’m using is just some

I’ll end up cutting off later now that
I’ll end up cutting off later now that we have our string let’s place the end
we have our string let’s place the end
we have our string let’s place the end of the string in the tape next to the
of the string in the tape next to the
of the string in the tape next to the toothpicks with our string attached to
toothpicks with our string attached to
toothpicks with our string attached to our tape we want to wrap it around the
our tape we want to wrap it around the
our tape we want to wrap it around the toothpicks one or two more times to
toothpicks one or two more times to
toothpicks one or two more times to really secure it in place now let’s cut
really secure it in place now let’s cut
really secure it in place now let’s cut off the tape seal the edge down there we
off the tape seal the edge down there we
off the tape seal the edge down there we go we’ve got four toothpicks all well
go we’ve got four toothpicks all well
go we’ve got four toothpicks all well taped together with a little over a foot
taped together with a little over a foot
taped together with a little over a foot of string taped into the bundle as well
of string taped into the bundle as well
of string taped into the bundle as well at this point let’s grab our large
at this point let’s grab our large
at this point let’s grab our large needle and fit the wide end into the gap
needle and fit the wide end into the gap
needle and fit the wide end into the gap in the middle of the four toothpicks
in the middle of the four toothpicks
in the middle of the four toothpicks press it in as far as you can get it to
press it in as far as you can get it to
press it in as far as you can get it to go without breaking the toothpicks
go without breaking the toothpicks
go without breaking the toothpicks it should push down until the widest
it should push down until the widest
it should push down until the widest part of the needle is just starting to
part of the needle is just starting to
part of the needle is just starting to go into where the tape is with the
go into where the tape is with the
go into where the tape is with the needle in place now we need to start
needle in place now we need to start
needle in place now we need to start wrapping the string around the ends of
wrapping the string around the ends of
wrapping the string around the ends of the toothpick we want to pull the string
the toothpick we want to pull the string
the toothpick we want to pull the string quite tight as it goes up the toothpicks
quite tight as it goes up the toothpicks
quite tight as it goes up the toothpicks near the points it will pull them
near the points it will pull them
near the points it will pull them together and that will secure our needle
together and that will secure our needle
together and that will secure our needle in place so it can’t pop out you can see
in place so it can’t pop out you can see
in place so it can’t pop out you can see that the four tips of the toothpicks
that the four tips of the toothpicks
that the four tips of the toothpicks have all started to taper inward and are
have all started to taper inward and are
have all started to taper inward and are resting up against the body of the
resting up against the body of the
resting up against the body of the needle once we reach the tip of the
needle once we reach the tip of the
needle once we reach the tip of the toothpicks let’s wrap the string back
toothpicks let’s wrap the string back
toothpicks let’s wrap the string back down it doesn’t have to be quite as
down it doesn’t have to be quite as
down it doesn’t have to be quite as tight so I’m just going down much faster
tight so I’m just going down much faster
tight so I’m just going down much faster than a wind pop you can see that the
than a wind pop you can see that the
